Invention

In the 70s Newmar invented the pantys and in the 80s she started selling them.

She needed tights that looked good on her, that didn't flatten her bottom. Her solution to that was inventing some tights herself. She cut the panties diagonally to the fabric thread and turned the central seam into elastic.
